2. Hydroxyapatite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxyapatite

   Hydroxyapatite is widely used within dentistry and oral and maxillofacial surgery, due to its chemical similarity to hard tissue. [34] In the future, there are possibilities for using nano-hydroxyapatite for tissue engineering and repair. The main and most advantageous feature of nano-hydroxyapatite is its biocompatibility. [35]

3. Sodium monofluorophosphate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_monofluorophosphate

   Tooth enamel consists mostly of calcium hydroxyphosphate, Ca 5 (PO 4) 3 OH, also known as the mineral hydroxyapatite. Apatite is a hard, insoluble compound. Apatite is a hard, insoluble compound. Acid (H + ), produced especially after a high-sugar meal, attacks the apatite:

4. Topical fluoride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topical_fluoride

   Topical fluorides are fluoride-containing drugs indicated in prevention and treatment of dental caries, particularly in children's primary dentitions. [1] The dental-protecting property of topical fluoride can be attributed to multiple mechanisms of action, including the promotion of remineralization of decalcified enamel, the inhibition of the cariogenic microbial metabolism in dental plaque ...

6. Toothpaste - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toothpaste

   In 1980, the Japanese company, Sangi Co., Ltd., launched APADENT, the world's first remineralizing toothpaste to use a nano-form of hydroxyapatite, the main component of tooth enamel, rather than fluoride, to remineralize areas of mineral loss below the surface of tooth enamel (incipient caries lesions).

7. Remineralisation of teeth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remineralisation_of_teeth

   P11-4 is a self-assembling β-peptide. It builds a 3-D bio-matrix with binding sites for Calcium-ions serving as nucleation point for hydroxyapatite (tooth mineral) formation. The high affinity to tooth mineral is based on matching distances of Ca-ion binding sites on P11-4 and Ca spacing in the crystal lattice of hydroxyapatite.
